Solo Swordmaster

Chapter 311

#311. I’m rooting for you.

“Tsk, there aren’t many good items for sale today, right?”

Baekwoo wasn’t a great player.

Intermediate level in the 40s.

As a player, it was barely enough for one person, but Baekwoo was still satisfied.

It was because his rare skill ?Cigar Grasp? was extremely useful.

The point is that you can find valuable hidden treasures in Internet auctions and hit the price, or you can buy undervalued stocks at a low price and sell them at a high price.

Of course, because the level was low, there were times when I couldn’t grasp the exact value, but it didn’t matter.

I was able to make a lot of money just by buying and selling what I could figure out.

“It’s a problem because there are too many emotional players these days. If anything is cheap, they rush like bees and buy everything… Hmm.”

The sad thing is that it’s getting harder and harder to make money.

It was unavoidable.

This is the Iron Age.

It was an era where it would not be strange if there was only one emotional player yesterday, three today, and ten tomorrow.

If you are a high-level player over level 60, you might not know.

Only mid-level players were full of kicks, so the competition was fierce.

“Do I have to go to the dungeon again?”

That’s why Baek-woo was worried.

To keep up with the increasing number of competitors, it was best to enter the dungeon and level up.

“Hey, how are you? It’s enough to live on as it is now.”

But he soon shook his head.

More than a few hundred million dollars have been earned so far.

Because I didn’t want to risk my life to enter the dungeon just to raise my level.

“Let’s eat some rice first.”

Beep.

“Let’s see, what kind of luxurious meal are you having today… Huh?”

As always.

After getting rid of his worries about the future, Baek-woo turned on the food delivery app to enjoy today.

But when he was about to choose the food to order, he couldn’t help but doubt his eyes.

[Information on a sale with a difference between market price and selling price has been obtained.]

[Rare skill ?Find market price? is activated.]

[Measure the exact market price of the target.]

[Jjajangmyeon 6,000 won (current price) > > > 20,000 won (market price) value)]

“What is the price of this turned around?”

Baekwoo was embarrassed.

Of course, it wasn’t unheard of for his ?Catch the Cigar? to activate on food.

In the case of really great restaurants, the market price is higher than the price, and on the contrary, hype restaurants come out low.

However, it was the first time that the price of ordinary Jajangmyeon exceeded 20,000 won.

This is especially true in that it is a price change at a regular Chinese restaurant that I have always ordered.

Even more absurd was the fact that it didn’t end there.

[The information will be revised due to a change in market price.]

[Jjajangmyeon 20,000 won > > > 24,000 won]

[Jjajangmyeon 24,000 won > > > 30,000 won]

“What the hell?!”

Even the price of 20,000 won per bowl is crazy.

Now, seeing the market price of jajangmyeon soaring beyond 30,000 won, I was taken aback.

Baekwoo immediately hardened his face.

This is because I realized that all menus at other restaurants, not just jajangmyeon, are soaring in price just like jajangmyeon.

‘no way…?’

It’s been a month since I ran to the computer.

When he searched for a specific item on the Internet auction house and home shopping site, which were always on, he groaned.

‘Isn’t the market value related to food increasing by several times?’

Had this happen before.

Specifically, when the presidential hostage took place and panic buying took place out of anxiety that the country might be ruined.

The problem was that even then, only basic necessities such as rice and mineral water went up two or three times.

Even Baekwoo had no choice but to be puzzled by the price increase, which had already exceeded five times.

‘What the hell is this?’

‘Come to think of it, I heard news about how the Russian military exercises were and how the Pacific Fleet moved.’

‘It’s not like there’s really a war going on… oh no way.’

Baek-wu snorted at the sudden thought.

Even when the devil destroyed Europe or the Seven Dragons turned Asia upside down, this country was fine.

It was because he did not doubt that there was no way a new tribulation would come now with the Infinite Lord and the Infinity Guild.

“uh? uh huh Wait a minute, why is this happening again?”

…clothes furniture appliances and more.

Internet auction house.

That is, until the price of almost every product listed on home shopping sites skyrocketed after food.

But that was just medicine.

[This product is out of stock.]

[This product has been discontinued.]

[Overseas direct purchase has become impossible…] Out-of

-stock marks appear in succession.

Baek-woo, who opened his mouth wide after seeing it, came to his senses after more than 80% of the products had already been discontinued or taken down.

…as if hundreds of companies went on strike all at once.

‘This is…’

Baek-woo broke out in a cold sweat.

I don’t know what the hell is going on.

But unless you were an idiot, you knew something big was going on.

‘Let’s buy some necessities for now!’

Therefore, Baek-woo hurriedly began to buy the remaining items for sale, especially groceries.

It was the market price and it was nabal, and it was clear that if I didn’t buy it now, it would be difficult to buy it later, even if I had money.

But the moment I paid for the first product in such a hurry.

He had to harden again.

[System error.]

[All financial payment services are undergoing emergency maintenance.]

[All cards and accounts will be suspended until the maintenance is completed according to the terms and conditions of the contract.] [

Thanks to customers who use the Fafnir financial system. We will do our best to return in a better shape.]

[Inspection deadline: undecided]

“…”

I want to buy something, but I don’t have it.

I have money, but I can’t spend it.

Baek-wu couldn’t help but blink his eyes at the situation he had never even imagined.

* * *

“…I see.”

[yes. First of all, we are mobilizing all affiliates to replenish the lack of supplies, but the loss is too great.]

“Don’t worry about the damage and keep going. I will try to find my own means on this side as well.”

click.

after finishing the call.

Li Qingyu sighed.

And he said to Limon and Ainsha Yuna-kyung, who were watching him.

“It is said that it also started in the Seventy-seven Provinces of China.”

“That one hand is fast.”

“Because the economic sanctions themselves had been in place since before the Chilryong branch.”

Previously, it was a warning and a taster, but now it’s just a sincere move to keep herself and Ainsha in check.

Watching Li Qingyu speak calmly, Yu Naqing opened her beak.

[…is this a check? The country looks ruined like this?]

“It won’t ruin. It would be to the extent that a national bankruptcy occurs or a riot occurs because the level of the economy declines in decades.”

[You’re saying that’s ruined?!]

Yuna-kyung was dumbfounded.

Of course, imports of grains such as rice and wheat and numerous products from toys to cars have stopped.

Even though it is a situation where a lot of farms and factories in the country have been closed and the financial system has been paralyzed, so there is a national reunion party.

I couldn’t understand Li Qingyu’s attitude, as if this was no big deal.

“Still, if the Black Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Clan do everything in their power, it will be possible to deal with it.”

“It means you’re only dealing with it enough to have a hard time blocking it.”

“Because Rose will intervene in disputes that have crossed the line.”

Li Qingyu, of course.

There is one reason why Limon is not excited about this situation.

This was because it was rather good compared to the worst case the two had assumed.

If it hadn’t been for the blue dragon clan who declared neutrality.

And if Limon hadn’t designated the Liberation Brigade as a target, the trio, including Charlotte, would have tried to end it with an economic war.

“There might be calculations that even this much would be enough to keep our hands tied.”

“And while we’re frantic, they’re going to hunt down the Liberation Brigade and get ahead.”

“Because that’s the most reasonable decision.”

Li Qingyu said calmly.

The Seven Dragons are an organization that exerts great influence on the mainland.

However, exerting a strong influence also means being influenced by the situation on the mainland.

An example of this was that the Blue Dragon Clan’s activity was reduced as they clung to the restoration of London after the London Crisis.

That was what the trio, including Charlotte, were aiming for.

The more the Black Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Clan try to block the economic sanctions, the less they will be able to afford to pursue the Liberation Brigade.

“I can’t let it go. If that’s the case, it’s really screwed up. It is an out-of-towner.”

Ainsha muttered gloomily, expressionless.

She had foreseen the case of giving up on blocking economic sanctions and focusing only on hunting by the Liberation Brigade.

But the results were the worst.

Chasing the Liberation Brigade hiding in various parts of the world in a situation where the mainland is in ruins is like baking hotteok when there is a fire.

Hotteok may be delicious, but after that, there will be no place to sleep.

[Eight those older sisters are mean…! Team leader, now that it’s like this, we’ll fight back!]

“How do you mean counterattack?”

[Yes, we can also apply economic sanctions, right?]

“Economic sanctions?”

[Yes!]

“Leviathan, the main hotel, and Tiamat, the art dealer?”

[…yes.]

“Do you think that will work?”

[…]

It’s the first time I’ve shouted energetically.

Receiving Limon’s gaze, as if asking if you’re insane, Yuna-kyung secretly averted her eyes.

Whether it’s hotels and hospitality.

Whether it’s a cultural art business.

It’s uncomfortable and boring without it, but it’s not a fatal field if you don’t have it right away like daily necessities.

If I ignored that and applied economic sanctions, it was obvious that it would only increase the damage to Leviathan and Tiamat.

It took a while to look at Yuna-gyeong, who was so excited that she forgot that fact and ran amok, with pathetic eyes.

Limon asked Li Qingyu and Ainsha.

“Is there any countermeasure?”

“The Commonwealth of China will be able to survive for the time being with the domestic economy if it coordinates production among the seventy-seven countries and activates trade.”

“I try to convince the gods. There are many gods scattered all over the world. If we mobilize the denomination to receive support and donations, we will pass the urgent hurdle.”

Is it really like a princess of the Seven Dragons?

Li Qingyu and Ainsha mobilized their respective national and religious capabilities to devise their own countermeasures.

However, Limon did not miss the subtle nuances in the answer.

“’For the time being’ is an ‘urgent hurdle’… In the end, it means that we have to come up with a solution somehow while wasting time.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Food material money. increasingly scarce. If there is no solution, it will perish.”

The two princesses meekly acknowledged their limitations.

Apophis dominates the grain market.

Bahamut, the factory of the world.

Even Fafnir, the ruler of the financial industry.

Three large companies that are difficult to deal with just one are determined and moving hand in hand.

Among the seven dragon groups, Leviathan and Tiamat, who lacked financial power and influence, had no choice but to handle it.

“Money, food, and supplies… Then the most urgent thing must be food.”

“yes. Other things are important, but the thing that causes people to feel a sense of crisis most directly is the lack of food.”

“Even if there is enough food, it is a big help to settle the chaos. But there is nowhere to get it.”

Listen to Li Qingyu and Ainxia, tap the table with your fingers, and hope that you are lost in thought for a while.

Limon quietly opened his mouth.

“I get it. Then I’ll take care of the food.”

“…?”

“….”

[….]

and fleeting.

With a strange silence, three pairs of trembling eyes turned to Limon.

Could it be because the eyes of the two princesses and the one were too blatant?

Limon narrowed his brows.

“Why are you looking like that?”

[Uh…. Hey, the team leader, he’s saying that because he doesn’t understand what he just said.]

Keep an eye on him for a moment.

Through Li Qingyu’s subtle expression and Ainsha’s blinking eyes, Yuna-kyung confirmed that she had heard it correctly, and asked nervously.

[So you’re trying to pressure the Red Dragon Clan to resume food supply?]

“No, I don’t intend to.”

Limon shook his head.

This is also a process to prove your qualifications.

I don’t know if the situation worsens enough to starve to death.

It wasn’t fair to regulate the grain supply just because it put pressure on the Black Dragon and White Dragon clans.

[Then what are you going to do?]

“If you don’t have enough food, you can get that much.”

[…The team leader said he would provide food that is lacking in the Chinese Federation and the Holy League?]

“I’ll try.”

Unceremoniously, Yuna-kyung, who heard the answer, looked at Limon with eyes suspicious of her mental state.

Leviathan and Tiamat can’t afford it, so it’s a huge amount of food.

Limon will solve that.

Because it was something I couldn’t believe.

It was then that Ainsha, who was struggling with an expressionless face, clenched her fists as if she had made up her mind to do something.

“I believe in Lee.”

“Oh is that so?”

“That’s right. So don’t worry about the aftermath and plunder to your heart’s content.”

“…why do you assume that I will rob?”

“It’s simple. The only way to get that much food is to raid Apophis and rob it. And Lee can do it.”

“….”

“We are at war now. Taking from the enemy is a trophy. So I cheer for you.”
